Tenching again

[carping_mad]

Hi all once again. lol

 

Just wondering what is the best methods you have all tried and caught the ol' tench on? i am giving liqidised bread and vitalin a try this season in an open ended feeder with rubber corn on the hook, as well as the good ol' Maggot

 

Thanks again all

Since last Saturday I have been out three times - caught tench each time although I was only fishing for them deliberately once.

 

1/ Bag of 6 to 3lb on cockle (fishing for tench)

 

2/ One 4 lb fish on maggot (fishing for roach)

 

3/ One 2 lb fish on lobworm (fishing for perch)

 

That just confirms that anything meaty is likely to score (maggots, worms, cockles, prawns, mussels, tinned meat, black pudding, halibut oil pellets etc).

 

...and of course they take corn and bread as well, and there are even philistines out there who catch them on boilies

 

All fish were feeding well at the three places visited - it's remarkable how quickly the water temperature has come up since the cold snap at the beginning of the month (53F at 6' depth on Thursday)

Lobworms and corn always used to do the business for me.

Can anyone recommend a good consistant mix for the method feeder for the tench?.

Its been quite a while since I fished for them deliberately. I am fishing a weedy gravel pit working type water.

i like a mix of vitalin and swim stim green/black.
